 i just found an old picture of a native brook trout i caught years ago and wish i had the fish mounted. i think it was 17 1/2 inches long . the picture is not the best quality but i was wondering if a replica mount could be made? anyone have any advice on replica mounts?
here is a picture of the picture

I would recommend going to a taxi that does alot of the species you want done.  They will have more experience with how to paint your fish...    Mike Vickerson  Adirondack Wildlife Studios  in the Adirondacks could do you a real nice replica   he knows his brook trout  ;)

You don't need anything to make a replica.  You can tell them what you want and they can make it.
